"In a high-six-figure deal, Warner Bros has acquired The Samurai, a spec script that will be the next film directed by Warrior helmer Gavin O’Connor. The intention is to get it into production quickly, because O’Connor is also working on a stage play adaptation of The Hustler, the Walter Tevis novel that was turned into the 1961 pool hustler film that starred Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason."
The Samurai? I wonder if they'll be a samurai in it.
I just wonder if it's going to be anything like The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise....that was a good movie. It brought back my respect for Tom Cruise as an actor...he really put a lot of hard work and good acting into that movie. If it's going to be a true historical piece then I like stuff like that also.
Not sure about The Hustler. The Paul Newman version is a CLASSIC.
